Instructions
Background 

Now that you’ve examined some of the feasibility and ethical considerations related to conducting a research study, it’s time to apply them to critically evaluating sources for a literature review. In this assignment, you will prepare a podcast to educate a group of doctoral students on these issues.

Instructions 

For this assignment, you will create a mock video podcast (or a transcript for a mock video podcast) on feasibility and ethical considerations in designing and conducting research. A podcast is similar to a talk given on the radio in which a speaker explains a particular topic and may or may not answer questions from an interviewer. The topic of your podcast is “Feasibility and Ethical Considerations in Dissertation Research.” In this podcast, you will not answer questions from your listeners. However, you will address the following:

  • general concerns related to research feasibility and why they are important in designing a research study.
  • specific feasibility concerns that may appear in sources being considered for the literature review and how those concerns may impact the study credibility and results.
  • general concerns related to research ethics and why they are important in designing a research study.
  • specific ethical concerns that may appear in sources being considered for the literature review and how they may impact the study credibility and results.

Using Kaltura in the assignment submission area, create a video podcast by selecting the Record Video option in the assignment submission area. You will need your webcam to complete this video. Press the New Recording button when you are ready to record your video note and the Stop Recording when finished. Click the Add button to include the video in your assignment submission.

Podcast Video Length: 3-5 minutes

Alternate assignment: If you do not have access to a webcam, prepare a transcript of a mock podcast that addresses the same items noted above.

Podcast transcript Length: 3-5 pages

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources and appropriate citations.

The completed assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. The content should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
